I move with the sun
But these words are exhausted
And my confidence is your guess
Yet as an undefined dependent
I lean on these sweet gestures
Which aren’t meant to fool me
Into believing

I will simply dream
I’m not dying and
hang on to this self-suggested pose,
As a lanky, bony nude
Enjoying my gracious artist’s love

I speak in high-pitched, enthusiastic tones
Of fleeing
but I have a mountain to climb
Before I tell you in all openness
And unintentionally
About those unimportant events

It throws me and makes me restless
But I have a mountain to climb
When I get to the summit I will read your letter
This is the pinnacle of my mountain climbing career
When I get to the top I’m not going down again

Hi Pia, there is a passion for breaking free of restraints, in the words of this poem, especially in those last two lines:- This is the pinnacle of my mountain climbing career When I get to the top I'm not going down again Really well put together and I think it's one of your best. Jenny.

Nice one, Pia. No not "nice" - horrible word - I mean really well expressed (something I'm not doing in this comment...).

Thanks Coral-I like nice and use it a lot myself but I know what you mean but it's difficult to find the right word sometimes and nice comes in handy doesn't it? ;)Pia

You sure have reached a 'pinnacle' with your writing, Pia, but I'm sure you'll go on...climbing higher, and even higher. Tina;-)

I guess I felt I was expressing this very inadequately Stan- but thanks for reading and your fine comment. I'd say it is another breath if life- hope it lasts for a long time- never did make it to the top of Everest though. Ha ha ;)Pia

words are rarely exhausted, but maybe they get a bit weary. Nice one Pia.

Wonderful, powerful and uplifting, Pia. Keeping the nature metaphor going, it surges with the strength and persistence of the tide. Keep climbing!
